the Three Treasures of the Northeast

    The three treasures are ginseng, sable fur, and pilose antler of sikas.
    Ginseng from the Mountains Changbai is a precious medicinal material. It gets its name (ren-sheng) from the fact that its shape is like that of the human body (in Chinese “ren” is the word for “person”). Jilin Province is the largest producer of ginseng, producing 85% of china's total and over 70% of the world's total amount. In 1981 a farmer at Beigang, a settlement in Fusong County discovered a ginseng root that was 160 years old. It weighed 287.5 grams and was 79.5 centimeters long. People call it the ginseng king, and it is now displayed as a national treasure in the Jilin Province Hall in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.
    Sable is the national first-grade protected animal. Its fur is a dark brown or grayish brown color. Standing out from the fur, individual needle-like white hairs are found here and there. Being lightweight and tough with deeply graceful and resplendent fine hair, the lustrous fur feels soft and warm. It is the best of all furs.
    The pilose antler of young stags is a precious ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine. It functions well in generating energy and producing bone marrow. It also nourishes theblood, increasesyang, andstrengthens bones and muscles. As a large producer of sikas, Jilin Province manufactures a lot of goods from them, such as stag pilose antler tincture, sika tail essence, sika embryo paste, etc.
